The color probably got lost in those pyramids!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe they are asking $300 for that poor Redfoot!
They need to give it to someone who will take care of it properly.

Nope. Just a dark animal.

is it melanistic? maybe

No that one isn't melanistic. I've only seen one melanistic Redfoot, the shell was black and the animal was gray and black. Very strange looking.

Red-foots show a lot of color variation. Vinke and Vetters "South American Tortoises" shows some very dark torts.
